I purchased this used 2001 jem7v at Guitar center in 2009. At that time I thought weird that only body has yellowed color while neck is still very white but just stick to it as I was just happy with having Jem. IIUC, Ibanez used special paint for jem so body shouldn't yellow easily and I wonder if it's even possible that entire body's color has changed uniformly.
That is one of the last great Jem models... sorry, i dont know about the paint. I would think they are not necessarily the same batch of paint. Also, they don't care much about fading colors.
